[vlc-devel] Problem: VLC catches mouse when Video is displayed on another screen

[CyrusQ at gmx.de]

Hello,

- disabling xvideo overlay didn't solve the problem.

- if i start in window mode:
#vlc --xvideo-display :0.1 --no-wx-embed
i stay with full controls. when i switch to fullscreen manually by pressing F, i lose control over mouse and keyboard in screen 0.0. keyboard and mouse are then only available in screen 0.1, but i want them to stay on my desktop (0.0).

What is the solution?

Thanks for your attention and (hopefully) problem solving answers.
